XO Jet is hiring as well and you will be top tier in whichever hotel chains they use.
Avantair is hiring.
Not sure about Citation Air or Flexjet or the others I may have forgotten.
Heard a rumor once that at NetJets you are started out as Hilton Diamond as part of a deal the company negotiated. Not entirely sure if this is true or not.
Hotel points are off my radar as far as anything I care about, but if you do than the fractionals are 100% where you want to be.
Milestone time
Finally broke Diamond status last week. Took me 8 months!
Starting off at Diamond status? Time to renegotiate
Seriously though as to the OP's original question.
It just seems strange that a job decision would be based on something that is going to take months (if not years in some circumstances it sounds like) and that becomes more important than the day in and day out grind that the job entails. This isn't even a benefit that might come to serious money savings like health benefits.
No matter whether hotel points and travel benefits are desired as perks to the job, the OP's suggestion that pay doesn't matter has never boded well on this board and shouldn't on any professional board. A little SA on this particular aspect would have maybe kept this thread more on track and it is probably a worthy lesson learned on the internet vice in a crew room at a later stage.
